About

Venue featuring 3 pools of various depths, plus basketball courts, and a playground.

Specific, published information regarding the daily temperature of the pool(s) at Randolph Public Swimming Pool is not readily available online. As a seasonal outdoor facility, its water temperature is largely dependent on ambient weather conditions and is generally unheated or minimally heated, providing a refreshing experience during the summer season.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? The facility offers three distinct pools: a kidding/wading pool, a diving pool (12ft), and a regular pool (3-5ft), along with two portable hoists for special needs accessibility and three lifeguard towers. It's described as a good, free way to cool off and offers super family fun. However, several issues were noted: Google's hours are incorrect, stating the pool is open when it closes for 30 minutes at 4:30 PM for a family swim transition (kids must be accompanied by an adult), and staff are reportedly aware but haven't updated the online information, leading to frustration. Staff demeanor received mixed reviews, some calling them 'not that nice' while others found them 'pretty cool'. One significant negative experience involved a strict dress code for women, requiring bikini bottoms and disallowing women's swim trunks, which led one couple to state they would not return. The water was once observed to be 'a tad cloudy,' though lifeguards claim daily cleaning. Sign-in is required but no ID is needed, and while it wasn't always crowded, it's expected to draw large crowds on other days.

There are 3 separate pools: A kidding pool; A diving pool; and a regular pool that goes from 3'-5'. I saw 2 portable hoists to lower and raise special needs persons into and out of the pools. There are 3 lifeguard towers and. At 4:30pm the pool closes for 30 minutes. When it reopens, it's family swim and kids must be accompanied by an adult. You are required to sign in but you do not need to show identification.

Showed up on a hot Monday. Hours on Google are INCORRECT. They close for 30 minutes at 430pm for some odd reason. Staff knows this is incorrect yet won't attempt to change it in Google Trying to send it to 5th council to fix . Ridiculous to finally get here and it's closed. Staff not that nice

Water was a tad cloudy that particular day, not sure why. Lifeguard spoke about how they cleaned the pool every day. Great way to cool off on these hot summer days. It wasn't super crowded the day/time I went but I'm sure there are days it has major crowds. Three different pools 3-5 ft, 12ft and a wading pool for little babies

Me and my wife went to swim my wife wearing a top and some Nike swimming trunks for women and we were told that we could not swim unless she had bikini bottoms. So ask yourself why my wife wasn't allowed to were actual women swim trunks why does she have to were bikini bottoms in order to swim there needless to say we won't be going back
